?45: 45 – Pride and Right View 45: 45 – Pride and Right View Despite having suspicions, when Hai Mingzhu heard Li Jiye utter the words “contract termination” she still couldn’t believe her ears.

    Why?

    The best gets eliminated while the incompetent and deceitful get promoted?

    What kind of a damn CEO is this?

    What are these bullshit game rules?

    Hai Mingzhu felt entirely unconvinced.

    The thought that she might have offended Gao Jie even crossed her mind, but she also knew that such discussions at this level were not influenced by emotions or opinions.

    In crucial times, Shen Yue and Jin Xin were the ones to watch.

    Shen Yue seemed as calm as if he’d just been asked: “have you eaten already?”, Jin Xin also showed no signs of surprise, he could only cough lightly and say: “I don’t know if President Li has seen our contract signed with the Giant Corporation?”

    Having been engaged in the business world for many years, Li Jiye understood the implications of Jin Xin’s words, “if we terminate the contract unilaterally without your wrongdoing, we will pay double the deposit as compensation.”

    Jin Xin’s smile remained as he asked, “Has Jin’s Security made any mistakes?”

    “No mistakes,” Li Jiye casually glanced at Gao Jie standing next to the door, “on the contrary, I think you all are doing an excellent job.”

    “The Giant Corporation does indeed have a peculiar hiring process.” Jin Xin remarked sarcastically.

    Li Jiye was silent for a moment.

    He took out his checkbook, wrote a sum on the topmost page, then tore it out and put it on the desk, “Take these two million, from now on Giant Corporation and Jin’s Security have no relation anymore, and the contract is rendered null and void immediately.”

    Hai Mingzhu’s eyes widened, and she wanted to question him—how could you do this out of the blue?

    Because you’re rich you think you can do anything?

    However, she didn’t speak out in the end because even after just graduating from university, she knew that the rich could indeed do as they pleased.

    In the eyes of the wealthy, a contract is nothing more than a piece of paper that can be exchanged for money.

    Jin Xin came forward and carefully checked the amount on the check.

    He pulled out his wallet and carefully stored the check, then nodded to Li Jiye with a smile, and left without even uttering a word of thanks.

    After the solid door of the office was closed, Li Jiye couldn’t see Jin Xin and the others leaving, yet he was still staring at the door, “Madam Gao, I’ve always thought that your proposal was not particularly good, but I respect your professional ethics.”

    Gao Jie remained silent, a thoughtful expression visible in her eyes.

    Arriving at the elevator, Hai Mingzhu could no longer hold back: “President Jin, we’re just leaving like that?”

    Jin Xin counter-questioned: “How do you plan on leaving then?

    Jumping out of the window to express your discontent?”

    Hai Mingzhu did have resentment, however, she had no intention of jumping from the window, “Why did they treat us like this?

    If level 13 was a test, then Jin’s Security surely got the highest score.

    The best gets eliminated?

    I would definitely demand an explanation if I were in that situation.

    I’m fuming!

    This is hard to swallow!”

    Shen Yue suddenly interjected: “It’s President Jin who distributes the money.”

    “What?” Hai Mingzhu had a sudden realization.

    “If he has no money, how would he distribute it to us?

    Isn’t that right?” Shen Yue asked.

    “How will we split these four million?” Hai Mingzhu understood.

    “I plan to take you all on a vacation to Southeast Asia using these company funds.

    We will go sightseeing, watch the sea, take in the radiance of the sun, and relax for a few days.

    What do you all think?” Jin Xin suggested.

    “Great!” Hai Mingzhu immediately put her grievances to the back of her mind.

    Indeed, it seems like there aren’t any problems in this world that money can’t solve.

    If there is such a problem, then it just means you don’t have enough money.

    As the elevator doors opened, Hai Mingzhu’s smile suddenly faded.

    Three people emerged, and if there were people in this world that Hai Mingzhu truly resented, all of them had just gotten out of the elevator.

    The person bowing and nodding at the elevator door was none other than Xun Jiasheng, and Madam Qian, with her arrogant son Li Jizu, was staring at them condescendingly.

    Jin Xin and Shen Yue exchanged glances, seemingly not having expected that Xun Jiasheng would be cozying up with Madam Qian and her son.

    Xun Jiasheng looked quite smug as he looked at Jin Xin, “President Jin, I didn’t expect to run into you here.

    What happened?

    Did you get fired?”

    Hai Mingzhu was taken aback.

    They had only been fired a few minutes ago.

    How did Xun Jiasheng know about this already?

    Jin Xin instantly struck back, “Indeed, Manager Xun, I didn’t expect to see you here either.

    I thought that…

    back on level thirteen, had I not thrown the rope to you, we would not have met again.”

    Xun Jiasheng replied with a cold laugh, “That was just a test, I would have been fine even without you.

    But…” He glared at the three of them, his gaze fierce, “when Manager Song was choking me, none of you helped.

    I’ll always remember that!”

    His gritted teeth conveyed an ominous threat.

    Hai Mingzhu, who originally thought Jin Xin should not always refer to Xun Jiasheng as “Dog Manager,” now felt that the title was perfectly suitable.

    What an ungrateful, petty man.

    The kind who never appreciates help from others and instead harbours resentment for the smallest things and holds grudges forever. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “Exactly, I am very afraid”} Jin Xin replied with a chuckle, seemingly unconcerned about Xun Jiasheng’s threatening words.

    “What’s the point in wasting words on such people.” Madam Qian finally spoke.

    She stared at the three of them disdainfully, “Remember this, this is not a place for people like you.

    You have no business interfering in Giant Corporation’s affair.

    As long as I, Qian Qiaoqiao, am here, you won’t be getting any business from Giant Corporation.

    Let’s go.”

    She arrogantly tossed her hair and stomped off towards the CEO’s office.

    Li Jizu, with a fake smile on his face, couldn’t resist adding, “It doesn’t feel good to be fired, does it?”

    “Madam Qian!” Jin Xin suddenly called out.

    Madam Qian stopped in her tracks but didn’t turn around, saying coldly, “If you beg me now, I might consider it.” Her implication was clear.

    Jin Xin continued to smile, “I must thank Madam Qian for her help this time.

    The breach of contract was by Giant Corporation, and President Li has already paid the penalty.

    Between a two-day deal with 4 million profit and a nerve-wracking deal of only 20 million in a month where you may even risk your life, anyone with brains and not mud can tell which is the more profitable option.”

    Madam Qian halted, she had indeed instigated the dismissal of Jin’s Security, but she had never anticipated such an outcome.

    Xun Jiasheng’s face turned green with envy, he hadn’t expected Jin Xin and Shen Yue to turn the tables once again.

    “We are very grateful to Madam Qian for helping Jin’s Security make the best choice,” Jin Xin said, his mouth wide open in a big smile, “If such situations arise in the future, we still hope for Madam to stir things up.

    Please rest assured, Jin’s Security opens its doors for business in good faith, unlike some despicable people who stab others in the back and gossip behind their backs.

    If Madam is interested in long-term cooperation, I would consider giving a 20% commission.

    Please give it some serious thought.”

    Madam Qian gave no consideration, she was already livid from Jin Xin’s words.

    Angrily stomping her foot she stormed off in silence.
